If Saros is willing to sign a four year deal, okay. But is he? He may want the max term, or close to it. Is Askarov expected to sit around until he’s 28 waiting for a shot?
If they don’t trade him, they risk losing him for nothing. I guess they’d be willing to risk it if they think they can win a Cup. But if not, you gotta make a decision with Askarov in the wings.
